oTThte I j) (Q) tS) IL Volume 66 Issue 7 wsusignpost.com Tuesday, July 29, 2003 INSIDE New Wildcat sports campaign, See page 7 57 5 :j j By Natalie Cutler news editor The Signpost Summer is a time for extra sleep, family vacations and, for most, fun in the sun. For many, spending time outdoors is enjoyable but some find excess exposure to the sun difficult to avoid. Although sunshine is essential for health and well-being, after 10 consecutive days of 100-degree weather, it can also be a serious safety hazard and the sun's ultraviolet A and B rays, UVAand UVB, can damage the skin. Sun damage to the skin is also known as photo damage and comes in varying degrees. Sunburn is a mild degree of photo damage and more common. Mmore serious damage includes a change in the skin's appearance or even pre-cancerous lesions and skin cancer. "Early skin cancer can look like lots of things," said Willard Maughan, a South Ogden dermatologist. "For example, when ' V Sun bathing is a popular summer recreation activity. Places like Cherry Hill, above, are packed during the hot summer months as people look to beat the summer heat. Skin cancer can be prevented by remebering to use sunscreen and other safety precautions. you start getting darker spots especially if they are rough, if it is kind of like sandpaper you may need to get it checked." Most skin cancer occurs on parts of the body repeatedly exposed to the sun; the head, face, neck, hands and arms are more susceptable. But skin cancer can occur anywhere. When the sun is unavoidable, protection can be provided by garments made of closely woven fabrics. "Longsleeve shirts work well, Maughan said. "Very often white shirts and clothing don't filler out the rays. Tightly woven clothing really works." Sunscreen is also a safeguard against the sun's rays. "Any sunscreen over a 30 SPF is pretty good," Maughan said. "It will protect 97 percent." Me recommended waterproof sunscreen, so despite sweat or water it will stays on skin. Another way to prevent skin cancer is to avoid sunlamps or tanning booths. "The tanning rays are the ones that are harmful UV rays," said Maughan. Other ways of darkening the skin are safer. Self-tanners and spray-on tan businesses are increasing in popularity. "There's fake tan but that doesn't come from light," he said. Megan Hunt works at Stacey's Hands of Champions Beauty College in Ogden. She works with the "Mist on Tan" part of the college which offers an instant tan sprayed onto the body. "If you come in here you won't age and (here's no risk of getting skin cancer," Hunt said. She said most ladies who use Mist on Tan are older women concerned with the health risks of tanning. "I'm more of the tanning booth type," Hunt said. "But, if I wanted to get a quicker tan that comes out darker and natural looking, I would use Mist on Tan." Some tanning booths use only beds with UVA rays. "UVA doesn't tan you as quickly but it's a longer wavelength so it docs penetrate more deeply," Maughan said. "The bottom line is they all cause damage. Tanning may or may not cause skin cancer, but I do know that it damages the skin and makes you look older." Even when the weather is cloudy, 60 to 80 percent of the sun's rays can penetrate through clouds. "We find UV goes right through clouds," Maughan said. "Also, the sun will bounce of the water, snow if you are skiing, concrete when you are playing basketball, and even green See Sun page 3 - :-.r.-Sf? ..... "' - . V V - - . : - - ' O ?'.:.
